To clarify ...
My card was replaced after the 12/06 TJ Maxx breach. Citibank admitted that it was because of TJ Maxx that they were replacing the cards. Funny thing was, that I pretty much NEVER shop at TJ Maxx, except that was just after momwolf came home from the nursing home and in the midst of making Christmas extraspecial for her, I bought two nightgowns at TJ Maxx, which I then had to return. So ... had I not done a good deed, I wouldn't have exposed that particular card to that particular store.
So anyway ... it was just about three or four months ago that I received two new Citibank cards on that same account in fairly quick succession. The explanatory letter admitted to a security breach on the part of a large vendor. They did not, in the content of that letter, reveal the name of the vendor. They also would not, when I contacted the Citibank Security Department directly, reveal the name of the vendor, but they did confirm that a breach had occurred.
